Filmmakers' Choice on September 24

In this film to be listened to, INTERVIEW MIT EINEM 13-JÄHRIGEN (1983/2008), Bärbel Freund asks her brother the same questions as Godard asked children in the 12-part television series "France tour détour deux enfants" (Godard / Miéville, F 1980). Instead of the children's persistent "Yes, no, I don't know" answers or silence, lively observations and insights burst out from the black and white screen. The intimacy of the interlocutors means that we envisage pictures despite their absence. Only the beginning of a new chapter is introduced by a "conventional" film moment, which is found in the city. The myth of highly-qualified philosophy makes space for existential humanity. (Karl Heil)
